Voice based email application for blinds

Abstract

In today's world, communication has become very easy due to integration of communication technologies with internet. However the visually challenged people find it very difficult to utilize this technology because of the fact that using it requires visual perception. Even though much advancement has been implemented to help them use computers efticiently, no user who is visually challenged can use this technology as efficiently as a normal user since they require some practice for using the available technologies. This project aims at developing an Email Application that will help even a naIve, visually impaired person to use the services for communication without previous training. The Application does not require the use of keyboard and mouse like dev ices. Instead it will work only on voice based operations and speech. This Application can aL 0 be used by any normal person, fo instance, by someone who is unable to read.
